    I should have read through the rest of the thread first!

    Like I said, I'm not saying the guy (Ali) wasn't something special, but people make him out to be invincible, which he certainly was not.

    I saw him struggle against some fairly average fighters (all be it he raised his game against some of the better ones)

    Here's a question for you, do you learn more about a fighter from watching their very best fights or their worst?

    I agree that Ali is overrated! I still think he is one of the top 3 greatest fighters of all time, but he is not God. His amazing personality has a big bearing on peoples opinions of him imo. I'm not saying he wasn't amazing, he was but people get carried away.
    God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!

    Master, Ali is a massive overachiever, that's why

    You could make a case that he lost to Norton three times. Liston won the belt when he was already past it, Patterson was physically shot, Fraizer wasn't smokin' past 1973, had one eye, Whooped Ali the 1st time round. Foreman would of spanked him 9 times outta 10. Jimmy Young should of got the nod, Leon Spinks beat him after barely taking his Olympic head gear off & Cooper knocked his arse out!

    Alot of bones to be picked out of it but I'm just sayin...

    There is no fighter in the world that you would rate if you looked at all the bad points.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Can't seem to rep you (I don't wanna spread anything around )

    Anyway, your right. It's just banter
